The courtosies extended between m,mbers
of the carly California legislature were often
Characteristic Of the times. A great deal OF
the bitterness which was then felt between
the friends Of the great San Francisco visi
lance committee and the members of the law
and order party was constantly cropping up
Many anti-vigilance bills were introduced
and one in particular by Harvey Lee pro
voked much discussion, although 1t was filiec
with absurd and unconstitutional provisions
Lee, being of an ardent temperament, spok,
long and warmly FOR his bill. a crushin,
reply was made by Caleb Burbank, who wa
a man Of large physique, as well as strong
intellect, and afraid of nothing. He hac
scarcely taken his seat when page handeo

An American Girl Dec Ines to Dance with
His Royal Highness
The only snub the prince Of Wales ever re-
ceived at Homburg was administered by ar
American girl and in such a manner as to
take the breath away from her mother. 1t
was the season the prince fell on the salon
floor with Miss Winslow while waiting. He
had overcharged himself with wine while at
dinner. Presently be caught sight Of thif
southern girl, distinguished looking, hard
some and passionately fond of dancing, who
had some days previous been introduced 10
him. He dispatched an equerry to summon
her for a waltz On the instant and while
her mother was dumfounded for want Of b
suitable reply she said: Convey my regrets
10 his royal highness and inform him that
shall dance no more this season"
"But you forget, Miss Winslow,' continued
the emissary, that this is a royal command
"And you forget, sir, that am an Aneri
can and am not accustomed to obeying royal
commandS'
At this the equerry vanished and The
young lady's mother recovered her breath.

Tropical and subtropical woods, accord
ing 10 Professor r. II. Thurston, are usu-
ally distinguished by extraordinary size,
strength, hardness, solidity and durabil-
fly. Among some thirty specimens TO
which special tests were applied there
were some like mahogany in appearance
and quality. while others resembled oaks
and other hard woods OF our forests, but
cxcelled them In density, strength, elias
ITCHY and durability These, and many
other woods which exist In enormous
quantities IN Central American forests,
may prove Of great value FOR many pur-
poses, but their hardness is often o serious
objection. -Arkansaw Traveller.

venturous sportsmen were cruising in n small
boat oil the rock, popping away at the birds

discharge OF firearms and the loss OF some OF
their number wheeled and made directly for
the rock. As they passsi over every gun was,
OF course, discharged, and all but two or
three Of the flock fell upon the ok A ques-
ton that no once presented itself, Of course,
was, "Who killed the birds'' Each one Of the
twenty-four sportsmen was sure that at least
two or three birds had fallen before his gun,
and as there were only some two dozen birds
in all killed, il did not look as if division Of
the spoil could be readily accomplished SIR.
Webster, however, was equal 10 the occasion.

The legislature meets this afternoon at 2
o'clock. 1t is not expected that all the
members will be in their seats when the
roll is called, because it Is hard matter for
legislator to tear himself away from the
delights of rural life. But there will GER
tainly be a quorum, and business will be
proceeded with. The only matters of in
tereSt likely to come up to-day in either
branch is the announcement by Gov. Nc
Gill in the senate of his appointment for oil
Inspector, and the announcement of the
committees of the house by Speaker Mer-
Ram. The latter did not complete his
work OF making up the committees until a
late hour last night. At 10 o'clock in the
evening he had not agreed upon the cOmpo-
sition of all OF them. The speaker has
kept his counsel we'll, and nobody has any
sort of an idea as to who will get chair
manships and places on the important COM
mltteeS. The only place that is certain is
Donnnelly for the railroad committee. Lee
is said to be booked for the COM
mittee on banks and MattSon for the COM
mittee on grain inspection, but this is only
surmse. There will, of course, be some
hearts that will bleed but it is believed that
Merriam will be especially careful to dis
tribute the good places with more than or
binary discretion. He has political ambi-
ton, and of course will make every effort to
strengthen himself, now that he has the
chance.
One thing is certain. Merriam will give
the farming element satisfactory recogni-
ton. 1t will be found, when the commit
tees are named to-day. that a goodly pro-
portion of the important chairmanShips
have been assigned to the farmers, and they
will be largely represented on the important
committees. q close friend of the speakers
gives it out that Mr.. Merriam is determined
to give the farmers no opportunity to say
that banker could not do them proper
justice and give them satisfactory repre-
sentation. One great difficulty in making
up the committees has been the number OF
new members in the huse. Their peculiar
abilities being unknown to the speaker, il
has been hard matter for him to place
them where they would be best fitted to
do effective service and have work con-
genial to their tastes
